LAUSANNE, Switzerland—The International Golf Federation made it official Friday by announcing with Los Angeles Olympic organizers that Riviera Country Club will host the golf competition in 2028.

Riviera already has been preparing for the Los Angeles Games. A year ago, it had gold medalists Justin Rose (Rio de Janeiro) and Xander Schauffele (Tokyo) pose at the fabled club alongside Olympic swimming champion Janet Evans.
